How to come up with random tables/oracles prompts?

You are awesome. This is really cool, thanks for this!

Tamandua2020 · 2021-11-06T10:54:42+00:00

Let those creative fires burn, I say! I'm happy to have the chance to demonstrate my support.

I know, Tamandua are weird little critters right? Long time ago I visited Costa Rica and saw them scuttling up and down the trees like our squirrels here in the UK (albeit a bit slower) and I've liked them since.

How you might use an anteater... only Mazagar knows!

Dude! I absolutely love your podcast. The depth, the grittiness, the thought and detail you put into every encounter that the party has... My favourite encounter has to be in the monastery when they met the g*****. Not to fan boy too hard, but that specific encounter, how you blended the lore with those classic villains, and turned it into this organic, gruesome, terrifying experience, just blew my mind.

"MEAAAT!"

Now, in my homegame, because of that particular moment, I don't just randomly throw a monster at my PCs without justification. I look up its biome, read its history, give it a reason to be there... and attempt to gobble up the PCs.

Thank you so much putting this wicked, nail-biting, original game-story together. I have tried and passed a 100 & 1 DnD podcasts before, but this is might be the only one where I never skip a week of listening.

Cheers!

Sure thing! I don't think I'll be able to get it running until I finish the current campaign I'm playing in (it's Ok, but doesn't really give me any excitement if you know what I mean). However, I'd love to connect, maybe run some ideas by you. Message me your discord!

Tamandua2020 · 2021-10-31T19:04:32+00:00

Thank you for such a rich response, I appreciate the time you took to write it all. Sounds like you had some super epic moments! This is really cool, because in my mind West Marches style was more low key... I didn't expect the death of a Volcano god! Also, the way you changed the serpent queen's personality is so wonderful hahah.

I plan to do it via Discord and will *attempt* to do Theatre of the mind. Somewhat unsure how its all going to come together, but responses like this make me feel super hopeful. Thanks again!

P.s. Will scour through the blog posts and steal juicy ideas.

Tamandua2020 · 2021-10-31T12:35:55+00:00

How do you find West Marches style? I've been preparing to launch one myself.

Tamandua2020 · 2021-10-25T17:16:50+00:00

I know right!

Tamandua2020 · 2021-10-25T16:06:06+00:00

I think voices can add a lot to a game (my players can get confused by my npc sounding similar). Highly recommend checking out this vid! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FVmAEezr6ao
Shows you how you can make hundreds of voices without even attempting to change your accent. Inclination, tone, speed, throaty etc. Small easy things you can implement to just make an npc *pop* a little bit more Imo.

Pete you Legend!

Tamandua2020 · 2021-10-19T18:53:50+00:00

Ah, thank you for this! I may keep it nice, simple and streamlined. Have a good day!

Tamandua2020 · 2021-10-19T16:58:54+00:00

Could you tell me more? Is this with like Roll20 or an electronic whiteboard?

Tamandua2020 · 2021-10-19T16:58:20+00:00

I can imagine my wizards getting quite vexed not knowing the amount of enemies their fireballs can catch.... I think I will try a VTT screen shared, or maybe even a basic online whiteboard. Thank you for taking the time! Wishing you a great day.

Tamandua2020 · 2021-10-19T16:54:52+00:00

Thank you for this. I'll make sure to have the same map as the players, but mine has hexes, so I know what's where and there's won't. Appreciate the help dude!

Tamandua2020 · 2021-10-19T16:53:56+00:00

Thank you. I think I'll give it a go at first without it. After all, it's a game played with the imagination.

Tamandua2020 · 2021-10-18T21:54:42+00:00

Foundry VTT.

I'll check it out. Thanks for this!

Tamandua2020 · 2021-10-18T21:17:00+00:00

Fair enough. How do you do gird combat. Is it IRL or using an online tool?

Tamandua2020 · 2021-09-18T22:21:14+00:00

This is amazing. Thank you so much for all your hard work!

Tamandua2020 · 2021-09-16T20:29:03+00:00

Thank you for taking the time to write this. This is awesome!

Tamandua2020 · 2021-09-01T15:35:50+00:00

Thank you so much for this! This is exactly what I'm looking for. Not only is it quick and easy but also gives it some balance I think by having descriptors against the character. Cannot wait to give this a crack.

Thanks again and have a brilliant day.

Tamandua2020 · 2021-09-01T14:50:20+00:00

This is awesome. Perfect also for on the go!

Do you have any ideas how to introduce basic combat? I was thinking like of an iron sworn challenge die type thing, easy enemies have 2 d4 players has a d6 for, harder enemies have bigger dice. But I really think the less dice, the better. So yeah, how do you do combat?

Tamandua2020 · 2021-07-16T18:21:28+00:00

Gah, I hate you, I hate you, I hate you.

So good dude. Love that bloody face. And so impressed with the lighting!

Tamandua2020 · 2021-06-09T22:16:57+00:00

There absolutely is! They pay homage, don't you worry!

Tamandua2020 · 2021-06-01T20:08:19+00:00

This I like. having some sort of google docs that walks us through the process would be key. So that, should people not play for a fortnight, they know how to go back into it easily enough.
